The year is 1400 BCE. At the temple of the fisherman, the morning is unusually still and this is just the latest in a series of troubling signs for Quexo, the village shaman. The villagers live off the sea, but this year the winds have died and the fish have dwindled. Hes seen this before his only hope to fix it is a special ritual. Gabriel Prieto outlines a day in the life of a Peruvian shaman. Lesson by Gabriel Prieto, directed by Globizco Studios

no one saw a sign in the sea, not his father, and neither did he,
it was just a smart enough family that knew at the time how to wield the power of faith and religion to gain power and status and to place themselves in a better, safer more comfortable life than others around them.
it's a farce that family kept on playing because it paid off, so they played the game of pretend with ceremonies and signs and nonsense.

I'm curious why you guys chose to use he/him pronouns for Quexo, were binary gendered pronouns a part of anicent peruvian culture/language? It seemed in the like Quexo's gender role didn't exist in the same context as the european he, him. Were there discussions in your team about using they/them pronouns? I enjoyed the video it just seemed strange to me, keep up the amazing content: )

This Video further Proves that Peru is so much more than People think. The Inca Empire was the Largest Empire in The Pre Columbian Americas. Before the Inca, several Civilizations took place, even desert places like these, where they built coastal pyramids

What a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. Learn some science so you can understand your world better and help each other better instead of spending days looking for something that is literally pointless.

Native Americans never called healers shamans. That sound was never made in the Americas before Europeans immigrated here. None of us are shamans. Stop calling us shamans.

Thanks for including the nonbinary aspect of ancient shamanism! It was thought that those who were able to transcend gender could then transcend dimensions. Fascinating

I'm so sorry, but when you said 'sacred cactus drink'
the first thing that popped into my mind was cactus juice from Avatar the Last Airbender

You should do one on Ecuadorean culture! its always so left out! We have so many beautiful cultures too! Andean, Coastal, Amazonic, Galapagos!

I would love to live in the BCE, I think it would be more original, When the human population is taking it's baby steps to something cosmic.

sometimes I wish I lived in these days, before technology, before the miserable daily grinds, before the inevitability of loneliness.
